So, apparently, this has happened here, too.<br /><br />After the initial adrenaline rush, I'm glad you saw through the scam.

Oddly, he asked for someone whose name is associated with our address (loooong story), but has never lived at this address. I politely told him this and he demanded to know my name. To which I replied, "why would you need that information?". He became "authoratative" and identified himself as "agent somebody" and said very aggressively "AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A NAME THAT HAS FOLLOWED YOU FOR 20 YEARS?" I said, " I do and I'm done!", and I hung up. Never heard anything further.Pudge450https://www.blogger.com/profile/13096161371562249151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-61437926146436210032014-12-11T02:29:11.005-05:002014-12-11T02:29:11.005-05:00Thanks for the warning.

But I hope one day someone turns up to meet the scammers with the police following close behind.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-43857497762727067072014-12-10T23:39:51.991-05:002014-12-10T23:39:51.991-05:00This has been happening here in the San Diego area...This has been happening here in the San Diego area too; for both jury duty and also calling people telling them they have outstanding traffic tickets. The bogus people have gotten some money out of it too with people not realizing it was a scam and paying them off. The local news frequently does stories about the scam to remind people it is indeed a scam. But I agree, it would be scary to get the call. Glad you guys were able to figure out it didn't sound true and didn't go along with their "demands."<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
